Flags of Our Fathers was a pretty thoughtful war film from Eastwood, focusing on the famous photo of the flag being raised at Iwo Jima. Instead of a straight focus on battlefield action, there’s a focus on how heroes are created, marketed, and equally remembered. It’s basically an anti-propaganda film at the core of it all, and a great willingness on Eastwood’s part to present soldiers here not as larger-than-life heroes, but more so as ordinary men caught in extraordinary circumstances. There’s a great look into propaganda, as I’ve mentioned, and this overbearing marketing of soldiers and the impact it has over time. It’s pretty thoughtful stuff from Eastwood, and this approach of deconstructing the almost mythic nature of war…

Far too discursive and under dramatized to be Eastwood at his best, but he has always been very good at movies on images even if Haggis script spell things out too much (Ang Lee’s Billy Lynn covers a lot of the same territory with less highs, but less didacticism). The combat scenes feel strangely off (I wonder if the main reason he set out to make Letters From Iwo Jima was because he felt a physical dimension was missing here), but his single mindedness pays off as this might be the most melancholic World War II movie ever made, all about waste. no victory in sight. By now, Eastwood has inherited two war projects that started out as Spielberg films…

The landing on Iwo Jima sequence was by far the most engaging part of the film. The rest fell by the wayside. It was still an interesting look into how the publicity negatively affected those that held up the flag in the photo, but it glossed over much of the fighting, which I suppose is the point Clint Eastwood was going for with this one. I’m hoping Letters from Iwo Jima is the better of the two. Clint Eastwood ranked

Genuinely kind of insane that a man who has been positioned by the culture as this archetypal all-American hero would make this duology of WWII pictures a few years after 9/11 where not only is he presenting the “enemy” with just as much care, reverence and humanity as the Americans, but that when portraying the American side the angle he decided to take was this treatise on how war is used as propaganda and how our government and media exploits and dehumanizes these men, then abandons them the second they’re no longer deemed useful. This gets better every time I see it.

The first chapter of Clint Eastwood’s Iwo Jima saga is a finely crafted drama brimming with patriotism, heroism & war that brings on screen the story behind what many consider to be one of the most iconic images of the last Great War while also offering an interesting look at the true meaning of heroes, and presents the Battle of Iwo Jima from the American perspective. The story follows the lives of the soldiers who were involved in the raising of the United States flag on Iwo Jima, the famous photograph that turned them into overnight celebrities following which they are brought back to America to help raise more fund for the war while their experiences in the war is revealed…

To exert their victory at Iwo Jima, a platoon of marines raised a flag on Mount Suribachi that became an instantly iconic photograph once it found its’ way into American newspapers. Ryan Phillippe, Jesse Bradford and Adam Beach play the three men lofted to American Hero status which they in privacy refuted (they were just trying to not die during combat), for them they just wanted their veteran stories of confusion and anxieties heard. The U.S. military wants to use the boys as shills to sell war bonds while the typical American media machine wants to print the glossy legend of plaster saints, not dissect the gory details of the war. Flags of our Fathers has a scattered number of…

So many family faces, from Ryan Philippe to Paul Walker. Not Clint Eastwood’s best work. Not as engaging as I hoped for, and ugly to look at.

an early entry in eastwood’s long-running series of films on guys who were railroaded, except here the guys were the veterans of the pacific war and they were railroaded into propagandizing their experiences by a wartime government more eager to exploit them than anything else.

A ideia, que ainda subsiste em nichos cinéfilos, de que Milius e Cimino são prole do Eastwood. Quando na realidade o que ocorre é uma antecipação da maturidade do cinema do Eastwood – que se inicia realmente com Josey Wales e decola de vez com Honkytonk Man e mais tarde Bird – no ímpeto alucinante de criação do Milius e do Cimino entre 1973-74 e 1980-82, quando revisitaram e repovoaram as paisagens do cinema americano como se tudo ainda estivesse por fazer, como se fosse possível fazer nos e com os 70 o que toda uma saga de realizadores fez nos 20, 30, 40, 50 com o território americano. Um exemplo entre vários: todo o universo que Eastwood descreve em…

as usual when veteran patriot filmmaker Eastwood touches a political topic, it’s tricky. critical, but not too pervasive he’s tackling US war propaganda. a touch of Saving Private Ryan is flanking the classic anti liberal hate against the sleazy establishment and self-loving elites. formally he stays in his conservative and conventional paths, creating only a distant and cold tone. the social matter is saving this otherwise scanty endeavor and – of course – on the finishing line this can’t cope without the typical kitsch of “auteur” Eastwood.

Anti-propaganda film disguised as propaganda film is the only good kind of propaganda film. And this is that.

eastwood understands that america isn’t a country built on a system, a morality or even a religion, but a country constructed of images, of moments frozen in time. human life only matters insofar as it can produce these images. the actual intricacies of warfare: the bloated carcasses of tanks, the bodies half-buried in mud, the heat of a bullet whizzing past your neck; those don’t get photographed as easily as a flag. that flag will still be there 100 years later, but the human beings who raised it will be long forgotten.

This film is definitely better in concept than in execution. While I connect with the central thesis of the film, I wasn’t really gribbed by the narrative. At a point this sort of felt like a recap of this historical event. This film is also ugly as hell. I like to look at people when I watch movies, not grey objects move on grey backrounds. I’m sure Iwo Jima is gorgeous irl. Even with all my criticisms, this movie is…

This film will be forever shown to many for educational purposes. The story does an immaculate job of providing first hand experience and the hidden wounds of PTSD that many had suffered after the war.

Flags of Our Fathers پرچمهای پدران ما فیلمی با فیلمنامهای غیرخطی است که مدام میان جنگ، بازگشت سربازها به آمریکا و گذشته و حال جابهجا میشود. این ساختار فلاشبکی ارتباطی میان واقعیت جنگ و افسانهای که بعداً از آن ساخته شده ایجاد میکند؛ تضادی که به نظرم یکی از بهترین ایدههای فیلم است. یک عکس از برافراشته شدن پرچم در ایووجیما، که در واقع فقط بخشی کوچک از واقعیت جنگ بوده، تبدیل به یک تصویر قهرمانانه و تبلیغاتی میشود و…

2 étoiles bien grasses pour ce film dont j’attends le prochain volet, mais cette fois côté japonais. Un film de guerre qui aborde essentiellement les rapports humains, le racisme états-unien, la propagande et l’énorme manipulation du peuple états-unien. Une belle dénonciation sur les motivations d’un pays comme les Etats-Unis et surtout les conséquences qu’elles ont sur les anciens combattants qui, malheureusement sont toujours

Victory is the product. America is the manufacturer. You are the material components. This has got to be the most underrated American war film ever made. Unshowy. Unpretentious. Painstakingly detailed and bleakly honest. Alongside Letters from Iwo Jima (itself the victim of a different sort of underrated), this is Eastwood’s Masterpiece. Here we are, looking again for more pictures… looking for The Good War.

367th movie of the year Clint Eastwood aims for Saving Private Ryan and lands just shy of it, which is still a hell of a place to land. The performances do a lot of the heavy lifting. Ryan Phillippe, Adam Beach, and Jesse Bradford make the flag-raisers feel like actual men instead of faces on a war bond poster, which is exactly what the movie needs them to do. They take one of the most iconic images of the war…

Парная картина с письма с иводзимы. Оба фильма отличные но каждый по своему. Этот фильм больше о безразличии гос пропаганды и морали солдат. Иводзима же больше о самой битве и чувствах бойцов, о их жизни и переживаниях.

I wasn’t with the first half – the battle, how it was shot. Then the film revealed itself and showed its true colors, its intent: a piece of anti-propaganda. And I was almost in awe of Clint. I was compelled, I was enthralled, and I was moved, and I sure as hell didn’t expect to be. I think I loved this.

Vraiment déçu du film… le scénario n’est pas interessant, les scènes sont entremêlés entre le passé et le futur et c est un gros bordel. Et au delà de ça, c est soporifique au possible… vraiment dommage pour un film de mémoire, moi qui adore les films de guerres normalement. Quelques scènes ne sont pas trop mal comme celle du débarquement mais c est juste « bon ». Il n’y a pas eu un moment où j ai été pris par le film, à voir avec le deuxième visionnage, si il y en aura un.

Yes, that’s right, kids — I live in a country that is so obsessed with unconditional reverence for its national flag that entire films are made exalting the random act of shoving it in the ground one day a long time ago. In other words: who cares? A piece of fabric doesn’t make me misty-eyed, unless it’s smoke because I’m burning it.

Je m’attendais à voir un film de guerre classique, j’ai également vu une critique de la propagande étasunienne. L’idée du film est bonne, dans la réalisation un peu moins fan, trop de personnages on s’y perds un peu dans les morts. Et la double, voire triple narration n’aide pas à tout ça et aurait pu être mieux traitée.

7.5，东木的硫磺岛，美军视角由那张大名鼎鼎的升旗照切入，主体是反思爱国主义和英雄叙事，强调每一个战场的个体都值得被铭记，不完全是战争ptsd，也不完全是主旋律，东木由人的尊严角度切入战争，还是非常高明的，一等一地彰显了美国的核心价值。战争场面拍的还可以，依然还是沿着大兵瑞恩那种沉浸式体验拍法往前进，几个时空之间的闪回有点拖节奏，直接一个倒叙回去拍老兵的回忆可能效果会更好。

Banderas de nuestros padres (2006) de Clint Eastwood. Cuando alrededor de las diez de la mañana del 19 de Febrero de 1945 los regimientos de Infantería de Marina se asentaban con tranquilidad en la playa sudeste de Iwo Jima no pudieron preveer que una lluvia de proyectiles, misiles y explosivos empezara a lloverles de todas las partes. Los japoneses, sin recursos y sin comida, agazapados en sus búnkeres, tenían total visibilidad aquel día. Perder la isla era perder un punto…

A very unique film based on world war 2. With its use of flashbacks to after and during the war, while also focusing more on the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima than the actual battle. I loved the cinematography of the battle scenes towards the start of the film, which I felt was very well done and captured the intensity of war. I also enjoyed knowing that the movies story and information is very accurate, which I always…

Estando acostumbrados a la podredumbre discursiva que se hizo imperante en los Estados Unidos tras el 11S esta peli no es para nada lo que uno esperaría. No se si es más antibelicista (que lo es) que antipropaganda. Se centra en la fotografía de Rosenthal de la bandera en Iwo Jima y en cómo la narración, mientras sirva al poder, queda por encima de la realidad de sus protagonistas. Me ha gustado que el trauma y la culpa del superviviente…

Anti propaganda propaganda film. Still good asf. Sad and brutal, with a bittersweet undertone of youth. Heros or not, most soldiers on every side were still kids deep down. They were just kids that missed their mother’s, fought not for their country but for their friends, played in the water, and cried.

I had so much expectation going in to this and unfortunately it didn’t hold up to my expectations 🤷🏻♂️ The film is very beautifully shot but that doesn’t save it from the lacking story and it’s so frustrating because i really tried to like it but in the end the story itself was mediocre in my opinion and the main characters feel empty in terms of acting and story build up. I got to say tho i got very emotional at the end🥺 Rating 2.5/5 ⭐️

“For my dad and these men, the risks they took, the wounds they suffered, they did that for their buddies. They may have fought for their country, but they died for their friends. For the man in front, for the man beside them. And if we wish to truly honor these men, we should remember them the way they really were, the way my dad remembered them.” A solid tribute to the Greatest Generation that may just suffer by comparison to Eastwood’s other Iwo Jima movie the same year.

I was really unsure of this one going in. I’m not big on war movies and Clint Eastwood’s films in particular don’t always hit with me. For the first 40 minutes I thought this was just going to be a visceral war movie (which it certainly is) but it quickly shifts and you realize it’s more about soldiers trying to deal with the horrors they experienced and the propaganda machine taking advantage of them. It really wasn’t what I expected but in a good way. -Betsy

clint dirige uma espécie de outro lado de cartas de iwo joma. e se o outro lado daquela batalha eram os americanos, ñ poderia deixar de haver espetacularização e glamourização da guerra, q gira em torno da glorificação dos personagens envolvidos na fixação de uma bandeira americana na ilha e q passam a ser tratados como heróis. o filme é bem dirigido e roteirizado, porém achei a escolha do elenco péssima, com algumas atuações bem sofríveis.

Have seen this movie before, but watched it again since it had been a while. It’s a tough one to judge. The combat scenes are good/great (even with some not-great cgi). The climbing of Suribachi and the flag raising is awesome. I won’t say I disliked the parts of the movie back in the US on the war bond tour, because there were some great parts and it was cool seeing the home front during wartime and how people treated…

J’ai trouvé ce film superbe. Le personnage d’Ira Hayes m’a totalement bouleversée. Pour moi, c’est le véritable héros du film, justement parce qu’il refuse cette image de héros. Il vit très mal cette position qui lui est imposée et ne parvient pas à accepter d’être célébré alors que plusieurs de ses camarades sont morts à Iwo Jima. Son sentiment de culpabilité est omniprésent et rend son parcours profondément tragique. Ce que j’ai particulièrement aimé, c’est que le film ne parle…

Es un PELICULÓN con todas sus letras. Me da rabia que la gente no entienda lo que acaba de crear Clint Eastwood. Es una crítica al mito que la sociedad crea acerca de la guerra. La guerra no trata de patrias, de banderas y otros símbolos, todo eso es una chorrada, va sobre personas. Y me encanta que se haya hecho una película sobre esto. Gracias Clint.

I find what Eastwood did with both this and Letters From Iwo Jima deeply admirable, but I can’t sit here and act like they’re films I liked. visually disgusting (derogatory) and realistically the contents of the film is indifferent to the other, similar, war films that Eastwood is criticising here, it’s just got a different tone to its voice.

A Bittersweet and melancholic movie. At first I was intrigued by seing the depiction of war in the pacific, the spectacle and the loss of soldiers.

Tho adjusting to it would not be as easy for some… The best scences for me depicted the narrator shuffling through his dads old military gear. Like…

Slightly disappointed with high expectations going into the film. If it wasn’t for the amazing cinematography during the war scenes I would give it less. The movie was more about the significance of a photograph rather than your typical war movie (not necessarily a negative just not what I was expecting). Some fairly non-patriotic takes and depressing characters with not much depth

Seeing Spielberg produced this and McDonough on screen immediately made me think of Band of Brothers. I love the cold, grey, desaturated filter. The initial beach storm sequence was great.

The two things that really took me out of it were the major emphasis on the flag photo and the nonlinear storytelling. Jumping back and forth that many times…

Definitely a bit bloated and messy, particularly in the first act where I thought the two timelines didn’t gel all that well and the structuring was kind of all over the place.

Yet despite my many issues, I’m impressed that the film still managed to land most of its emotional beats, especially towards the end. Its showcase…

Although it occasionally veers into sentimentality, and some of the characters could have benefited from a bit more development, Clint Eastwood deserves credit for his willingness to challenge the idealized narrative surrounding one of the defining moments in American history, presenting it from a perspective that feels far less optimistic than the one we’re usually accustomed to.

War as void. A very strong polemic against American politics and, ultimately, cinematographic form. Here the sheer transparency of Eastwood’s stripped-down-to-earth style functions as a sort of critique of the tendency of still/moving images to remain within their supposed context. The black and fiery smoke, the vertiginous succession of hazy bomb explosions, the pale bloodied bodies covered in dull splintered rocks—how can all these ‘mean’ anything? Eastwood guides us to read not the images themselves but what is between them, and I dare say that’s morally persuasive. Only a few filmmakers do their duty like him—deftly, daringly, sublimely.

A julgar pelo contexto e a história acho que a crítica feita pelo diretor Clint Eastwood é bem válida, não é um filme que apenas serve para reverenciar heróis de guerra americanos e sim fazer uma crítica ao próprio país, que muitas das vezes utilizou os sacrifícios deles como forma de autopromoção com a população.

Flags of Our Fathers is one of two war films from Clint Eastwood that portray the Battle of Iwo Jima. This film was the first released, and it focuses on the American perspective of the battle.

Incredible image, very early in the film, of the three main guys, seemingly in combat, with flashes and…

A bit weaker than its companion piece (maybe just less unified), but still a good piece on the psychology of war. Definitely a story that needed telling, particularly the part about Ira Hayes. That being said, I think most of the impact here comes from the source – Eastwood’s interpretation is faithful but not ambitious.

Clint Eastwood portrays the political gears of war fabulously. He opens up the door to question what stories are true or fabricated from our history of wars. My generation will never know the true sacrifice of the men and women during the war. 20 years has aged the movie well.

Presented in stunning imagery it’s a story that had to be told, showing at the same time fake news aren’t some recent concept created with the advent of the internet and social media.

Estados Unidos históricamente se construyó a base de vender relatos sensacionalistas como épicas patriotas emotivas que distan completamente de la realidad, cosa de la que se hace eco Clint Eastwood en este peliculón, el cual esperaba que fuese también en cierta parte propaganda. Seguro que muchos de esos descendientes de inmigrantes ingleses la ven como ello dada su poca capacidad intelectual, pero nada que ver con la realidad. Aun siendo (por ahora para mí) un top 5 de Eastwood, me quedo con Cartas desde Iwo Jima, más redonda a mi parecer. DEP Paul Walker siempre 💔.

Numa época pós 11 de Setembro, onde a América está sensível e produzindo filmes cheios de patriotismo, o Clint lança essa PEDRADA, onde a guerra não é sobre a grandeza de uma nação e sim a total aniquilação do indivíduo, a propaganda com base na mentira, o lucro em meio a tragédia.

Il montre comment une image finit par remplacer la réalité pour fabriquer un récit national.…

Eastwood made two films about WWII and released them at about the same time — one from the American point of view and one from the Japanese point of view (Letters From Iwo Jima).
- Synopsis
- There were five Marines and one Navy Corpsman photographed raising the U.S. flag on Mt. Suribachi by Joe Rosenthal on February 23, 1945. This is the story of three of the six surviving servicemen - John 'Doc' Bradley, Pvt. Rene Gagnon and Pvt. Ira Hayes - who fought in the battle to take Iwo Jima from the Japanese.
